Grand Banks 55 Eastbay SX

Alexander Marine are pleased to present the 2009 Grand Banks 55 Eastbay SX 'Timeless' to the market as worldwide central agents.

'Timeless' is a breathtakingly beautiful and immaculately presented down east style sedan motor yacht - built to a standard only Grand Banks has mastered and cared for by a long-term fastidious owner. She has been lavished with extensive upgrades and care over her life - if you are impressed by her photos you will be delighted with what you see when you step onboard. 'Timeless' being an enclosed saloon "SX" model which is a reference to Saloon Express - were built on the proven and famous Raymond C Hunt designed deep-V hull with moderate beam for excellent performance and sea keeping - not to mention she is the only 55 SX in Australia! Palm Beach Buyers take note as the Grand Banks Eastbay platform is a worthy alternative vessel for your needs (and as it so happens Grand Banks Yachts now owns Palm Beach Motor Yachts) - indeed 'Timeless' offers extraordinary value & utility when directly compared to Palm Beach Motor Yachts of similar sizing.

Access to her teak-laid cockpit is via a wide hydraulic hi/lo swim platform, perfect for effortless water access. Onboard the generous cockpit, it features an expandable teak table with plenty of room to add chairs. At the front of the cockpit, against the saloon bulkhead, an aft-facing seat cleverly lifts to provide access to the engine room. The cockpit also boasts mesh screens to offer privacy and to shield from our warm climate and sun, ensuring comfort while enjoying the outdoors.

Overhead, her custom structural hardtop not only shields the entire cockpit from the elements but also features a cradle for securely housing the 3.2m AB RIB, with a Davco SWL 500kg automatic slewing, jib & luffing davit for easy launching via a wired remote control. Note the hi/lo platform can accommodate a second tender or Jet Ski should you wish to carry more water toys. Complementing her sleek design is a striking two pack painted navy blue hull that adds to her commanding presence on the water.

Just a few steps up from the cockpit you enter her U-shaped galley immediately to port as you enter the saloon. The galley features a Miele four element electric cooktop, Miele microwave oven and a Bushman bar fridge leading into the saloon.

In the spacious saloon, you are immediately welcomed by Grand Banks's flawless timberwork and craftsmanship. Her saloon is light, bright and breezy with her 360 degrees wrap-around glazing featuring a centreline glass sunroof for incredible ventilation. Don't worry - if you are more of the air-conditioning type - we have that covered as well! To port in the saloon, you will find an L-shaped settee and dining table and to starboard you will find a hi/lo 26" TV beside the bar fridge.

The helm station design, which is positioned to starboard, incorporates a helm door for easy access to the side deck. 'Timeless' is fitted with late model touchscreen Garmin electronics and a comfortable Stidd seat to reel in the miles.

Her accommodation layout is a spacious twin cabin arrangement. Her midship master cabin is to starboard and features a unique sliding timber door, stepping inside is an island queen bed, 18" TV, and a private ensuite with separate shower stall. Her forward VIP cabin features a double centreline bed, 18" TV and private access to the shared bathroom which also features a separate shower stall. Furthermore, the accommodation companionway features two stacked Isotherm bar fridges and a single berth that becomes a day bed, offering an extra sleeping arrangement for overnight stays.

Back at the cockpit, guests can move seamlessly from the cockpit up to the bow via the wide teak-laid side decks, which, like the cockpit, are beautifully maintained including recently varnished toe rails. Her inventory includes six comfortable Geena Co Aloe deck chairs for relaxing in the cockpit or on the hi/lo platform while taking in the views.

The spacious engine room houses twin MTU Series 60 engines and an Onan generator. She has recently been mechanically serviced. For ease of docking she is equipped with a Side-Power bow and stern thrusters.
